Pro­tect

Preg­nancy hor­mones can change the way your skin re­acts to the sun, in­creas­ing the risk of melasma, ar­eas of dark­ened skin that typ­i­cally ap­pear on your fore­head and chin. A high-fac­tor sun­screen made specif­i­cally for fa­cial use, such as De­cléor Aroma Sun Ex­pert SPF50 (£29 for 50ml, de­cleor.co.uk), will help keep sun dam­age at bay, pro­tect­ing skin from dis­coloura­tion in the short-term, and less­en­ing the risks of per­ma­nent pig­men­ta­tion in the fu­ture.
